How the Supreme Court Went Wrong in the ‘Ghost Gun’ Case
In Bondi v. VanDerStok, the Supreme Court ruled that the ATF may regulate weapons parts kits as “firearms” under the Gun Control Act of 1968. This case focused on the definition of “weapons” but did not directly address the Second Amendment rights. The court determined that these kits qualify as “weapons,” despite their incomplete nature, with a 7-2 vote led by Justice Neil Gorsuch, while dissenting Justices Thomas and Alito contended otherwise.
Critics express that the ruling misinterpreted congressional intent and the statute’s context, as the term “weapon” traditionally excludes unfinished components. Consequently, the ATF exceeded its authority by regulating items not meant to be covered. This decision raises concerns about the judiciary’s role in interpreting laws rather than deferring to Congress.
